Pros: The cable went in the same package as seen in the pictures.
Seems to has a better construccion quality than the original normal (composite)cable
Can be used in CRT TVs with component in for 480i or in LCDs for 480p (480p has a better quality than 480i)
Cons: none at all
Other Thoughts: Has gold plated pins, the box has install instrutions.
The length is good.
Bottomline: If you want a better image quality for your wii. Buy it now!!
Works perfectly

Pros: Wii end of the cable fits perfectly and the color is very close to the original cable
Connectors fit properly into the RCA jacks and are not too loose or tight
Connectors appear to be gold plated
RCA connectors are easy to distinguish and cannot be easily confused
Cons: Nothing. Of course it would be nice if the wii did 720p or 1080p but that is up to Nintendo
Other Thoughts: I can't believe anybody would get confused between the red video connector and the red audio connector, they are very different in appearance and are very easy to tell apart
Bottomline: Many times cheaper than the original Nintendo cable and it works just as well. If you have a TV that supports 480p input then you should get this cable for your wii.
Why pay more

Pros: The cable came in a pretty and professional looking box. The connector fits nicely into the Wii, not too tight, not too loose. It's cheap and working out of the box.
Cons: Less experienced users may get confused with the red audio cable and the red video cable. But I am sure they will be able to figure it out... eventually ;-)
Other Thoughts: I don't have any other thoughts. It's working and this is what I was looking for.
Bottomline: I saw comparable cables in store and they cost much more. This ones fits nicely and work out of the box. I highly suggest it.
For an LCD tv, this is a must

Pros: -It is much better than using the composite cables included with the system, as immediately upon plugging it in and switching the output to EDTV(480p)in the wii menu, the text is sharper, colours will be more vivid(especially noticable for me while playing Mario Galaxy and also Mario Kart!)
-The cord itself is a lovely shade of white which matches the Wii console!
-Cord length is about 6 feet, which I assume would be adequate for most users, especially with side component inputs which are common enough!
Cons: -Wish it could improve the picture and sound even more, but it's not the cable's fault the Wii doesn't support high-definition!
Other Thoughts: Don't expect a miracle from this product, but if you have you Wii connected to an lcd screen(and I would say the majority of people do these days) your eyes will love you for this!
Bottomline: This is about $20 cheaper than the retail version, so you can't go wrong!
